Format[edit]
The first series of Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong was based around a gameshow format where two teams — 'Celebrities' and 'Civilians' — were asked a series of questions relating to the other team's lifestyle. Rounds included 'Celebrity Crypts', 'Life Swap', 'Kiss and Tell' and 'How the Other Half Lives';[2] producers claim that 'fantastic prizes' can be won, much like a traditional gameshow format.[3]
The second series abandoned the 'Celebrities vs. Civilians' angle and went with two different teams of celebrities each episode.[4] Wolf casino games.

However, at the end of the series, Alan revealed that there would be a special episode airing at Christmas time. The shows featured two teams of celebrities from similar programs or who have similar backgrounds playing against each other, such as Coronation Street vs EastEnders. Alan Carr noted in an interview with Jonathan Ross, that due to complaints from civilians they had to abandon the previous format and go along with celebrity teams.

A term coined by Donald Trump on his show 'The Apprentice' even though bosses used it all the time before. Now anyone who watched five minutes of it thinks it's THE ABSOLUTE SHIT and uses it to say 'YOU SUCK!' or 'LOSER!' or something of the sort.
